Copenhagen that the czar is ill with
rheumatism and carries his arm in a
sling because of the pain arising from
that malady, is not generally believed
here, but rather it is suspected that he
is suffering from the effects of wound
received from the pistol of the nihiliSt
who, disguised as an officer of the
Guards, fired at the emperor as he was
journeying from st. Petersburg to KraS-
azselo few days ago. The guarded
despatch announcing the occurrence
admitted that one of the aSsailant's bull
lets perforated the imperial coat, and
the inference is that it also pierced the
cuticle, if not the flesh of the cZar of all
the RuSSiaS, since Russian dispatches
relating to imperial state matters, or
the movements, health and safety of the
czar are usually constituted of one part
truth and ninety-nine of fiction, myS-
terry and unadulterated falsehOOd.
A CLOSE ESTIMATE
of the value of the grounds upon which
various official and parliamentary opin-
ions on the subject are based induces
the belief that parliament will rise for
the recess on Saturday, Sept. 10. The
supply bill will be pushed with all pos
sible haste and the other matters which
the government few days ago hoped to
dispose of before the adjournment, will,
without doubt, be laid over until the
next session, the present temper of the
members showing pretty cOnclusively
that these bills couldsno possibly re-
ceive the attention they require during
the present session. The Irish credit
votes will be finished on Friday and
both parties will then begin extensive
preparations for lively campaign dur
ing the recess. Already a
GREAT MANY ENGAGEMENTS
have been made for speeches by prom
inent members and before the final day
OF the session arrives every one of the
members of both of the great parties
whose oratorical ability is known, the
Parnelites being included with the Lib
erals, will have been booked for series
of stirring addresses to the electors. Mr..
GoSchen and several other speakers of
equal prominence on the, government
side have thus far been engaged to de-
LIVER one speech a week each, and 1t is
likely that the number of their engage
lnents will within the next ten days be
increased to at least three week. The
settlement of the question of
SURPRISING THE LEAGUE
still hangs fire. The government, in
view of the fast changing state of pub
lie sentiment, does not dare to apply the
power it demanded and secured upon
the representation that its application
to the conduct of affairs in Ireland was
vitally necessary, and the uniOnistS are
becoming more persistent each day in
their demands that the proclamation be
not enforced, while the Tory SquireS in
crease their clamOr for the total annihi-
latiOn of the Irish organization. The
government can snap it's fingers at the
suggestion that its standing and
strength is impaired by Irish evictions,
but it cannot ignore the rapidly increas-
ing power of the popular protest against
the proposal to make war upon a pOlit-
ical association for the sole purpose of
GRIPPING AN OPPOSITION PARTY.
often juStifiable to attract more than
local notice, but the governments war
upon the league brings forth as em-
phatic condemnation from Scotland as
from Ireland itself, and the report that
the cabinet to-day decided to cOnfine
the proclamation to certain districts is
undoubtedly true, and, if so, equivalent
to square back down on the question
of suppression. Timothy M. Healy, M.
P, one of the foremost of the Irish par
liamentary orators, declined particu-
larly flattering and highly lucrative offer
to make lecturing tour of America in
consequence of the governments proc
lamatiOn of the league which neceSSi-
tates his presence here.
THE FRENCH MOBILIZATION
operations will begin tomorrow and
their results will be watched with close
off h1y tho Uorin1C nafinnc nf En-
rope and more especially by Germany.
Already the German press, actuated by
apprehension, jealousy and hatred of
everything French, are predicting that
the work will end in fiat failure to
achieve the objects sought and the most
spacious arguments are reSOrted to to
convince the German reader and the
outside world that the matter is not
worth talking about; yet no German
paper ignores it, for all that.
: NJ. StambulOff is making very little
headway in forming Bulgarian cabi--
net. The leading statesmen of the prin-
cipality are left to commit themselves to
affiliatiOn with the regime of Prince
Ferdinand. In view of the attitude of
the powers and in the critical state of
affairs mediocre men are not wanted.
q REITERATED HIS ALLEGATIONS,
denOuncing King-HarmOn's connection
with the Orangemen, who he declared
had committed 500 murders to one COM
mitted by Ribbon men. At this point
King Harmon entered the house, and
Mr.. Healy repeated his assaults upon
him in violent and taunting tone.
Col. King-HarmOn said the Cremerne
affair was a bOyish eScapade, and the
Weldon story lie. Mr.. Healy said he did
not blame King-HarmOn for accepting
Office, but he did blame the government
for supporting law-breaker and re-
leased convict. Col. King-HarmOn ap-
pealed to the chair, who censured Mr..
Healey for his language. Mr.. Healey
accepted the rebuke of the chair, but
said that King Harmon was landlord
where rents had been reduced by the
land commissioners. 1t was wrong,
therefore, to place him in position
where he could influence the appoint
ment of commissioners. Concluding,
he moved reduction of the vote of credit
to $4,000. Further discussion took place,
Messrs. Balfour and Smith testifying to
the efficiency of Col King-HarmOn as
under secretary for Ireland, and the
motion to reduce was negatived, lib to
